, global economy starts to reaccelerate. keep in mind, in the united states the federal reserve's balance sheet has gone from 3 trillion to 4 trillion. there's roughly about 50 trillion dollars of global debt that's u.s. based. okay? what i mean by u.s. based, i mean dollar backed. so it's not as if we're moving the money supply up 20 or 30 percent. it's, though, something to keep an eye on. david: now, unemployment is 7.8%. precisely the level it was at four years ago. of course it's gone up and come down a bit. but are we looking for that to become the new normal? >> i don't believe in the new normal here. because if you have reacceleration of the u.s. economy over 3%, to 3 1/2%, then that whole term new normal -- david: we are nowhere near that. the difference between 2 percent and 3 percent is enormous in terms of what it means for the economy. >> it is. we are anticipating in the later half of 2013 you could start to see 2 1/2, 3 percent perhaps. and in 2014 -- david: when you think of all we've lost and how much we're
